But your premise is Jones was playing for a better coach? And if JC gets canned what if the hawks hire Torts? After all Stan isn’t very bright between his naps and potato chip binges.

I would like to explain better. When I said Jones plays for a better coach, I mean Torts after a few years has players tune him out. I don't know the culture was good being a sub .500 team..Players want to leave, not stay in Columbus

Now looking at Chicago, they are better on.paper and a year to understand Colliton system. Variation of same system work.around the league
Let us see how well the players embrace it
This where he has been, what he wades into

There’s a rumour that Keith was seen at an Edmonton Costco buying up all the juice boxes and Oreo double stuff cookies.

Nah! Don’t worry about stats. Herr Direktor has assured us data analysis are meaningless.

Joking aside, while the analytics do show Jones’ effectiveness is trending downwards let’s hope a new environment, with new coaches and new teammates can turn his play in a positive direction.

Bob should know that they are probably for his son.

Double is the only "ou" word you used that I recognize as spelled correctly

Darn it, why is he shopping at a big box? Needs to shop at small business.

If he's Seabrook plus, I'll take it, we need a guy that can be leaned on along the blue line.

I like how the guy who wrote the article, broke everything down.

Oh yes you speak, read and write American not English. Granted much of the “American “ spelling makes more sense. Now do something about knife pneumonia, kneel, knot, knowledge, wreck, lamb, wrote, sign etc..

With all the juice boxes he bought he’d need to visit 20 or more Mom and Pop shops.

I’m hoping he can buck the way his game has been trending and show myself and others acquiring him was a good move. And if he’s as good as Seabrook I’ll be happy.

& colonel. Science breaks a spelling rule as well. I also like the people who Americanize words that aren't our own & say "we'll they're in America so say it/do it our way." Idiotic. Adidas is a German word, I think, & everyone says it wrong. Porsche can be added to that list. But the American way ...

I'm far from a grammar nazi, so I just laugh all of that nonsense off. Just wanted to give you a hard time.

problem is, can he break bad habits at 27? Can he learn to do something with the puck after he enters the zone which leads to HDSC?

But then there was this line

Columbus’ team defence as measured by 5v5 expected goals against has improved from 23rd in the league to 3rd, when Jones came aboard?

I did say hope. I hope Jones can improve like I hope to win the lottery and like I hope you won’t be so crusty. Yeah I get what you mean, all three are long shots.

Any rumblings about who might replace Bowman as GM In the near future?

Of the 3 mentioned, i say the lottery presents the best odds for success.

Any rumblings you may actually be entertaining? Remotely original? At the very least within sniffing distance of witty?
